Special Dispatch L. inc Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. -. Especially tho
ladies who have called at the Whitc-housc
during the past week have remarked the
growing corpuloncy OF the President and
Mrs. Cleveland. They say that each has
fattcncd TO the extent OF at least twenty
five pounds since the Isl Of September,
and that the President has become really
Stout. When Mrs. Cleveland was married
she weighed little less than $50 pounds,
and, owing TO her hight, did not appear
10 be that heavy There are those OF her
friends who have seen her during the past
week who say that she will tilt the beam
at 100 but these figures are little high.
She will not weigh l60 yet she is very
near that mark. The outdoor exercise,
especially the daily drives She takes, has
done most OF it. MIS- Cleveland seldom
drinks wine or any other stimulant. She
only wants a brisk walk TO work up her
appetite for breakfast or lunch, and il she
cannot 90 outdoors she amblcs about the
house. A servant says she often runs up
and down stairs two steps at time, and
can swing her arms behind her back like
those oi Windmill, and that she is the
most agile woman Of her size in the city.
Mn. Cleveland is fully ~ tall as her
husband, and, although she has developed
into woman Of serious thought, she can
enjoy irplic rs much as anyone, and
when she attends the thcatcr, which is
often, She has no scruplcs about laughing
heartily when She IL amused or sees any
thing 10 laugh at. She is naturally OF
happy disposition, and eats and sleeps
like one who l. determined not to let the
things of life worry her.
The President grows corpulcn, from
